The long-awaited DVD from The Lawrence Arms has been detailed. An Evening of Extraordinary Circumstance is slated to be released in late summer via Fat Wreck Chords, chronicling the band's 10th anniversary performance in Chicago, IL in October of 2009.

Crankstrap Productions has posted a trailer for the DVD, which can be seen here.

Chris McCaughan has announced that he is releasing a new Sundowner album sometime in the summer. It will be released on Asian Man Records instead of Red Scare. Red Scare will be pressing Four One Five Two on vinyl in the summer.

"Well, it’s been three years since the first Sundowner record and man has a lot happened in the world since then.We had the summer and winter Olympics, the Cubs got embarrassed in the playoffs a few times, Obama became president, I won my first fantasy football championship and we all got a bit older.Ahhh, the dizzying highs. I also wrote a bunch of songs.Over the last several months me and Neil (Hennessy if you’re nasty) having been working on the new Sundowner record in Logan Square in Chicago and I’m excited to say it’s just about done and that we’re putting the finishing touches on it.I’m stoked to be teaming up with Mike Park and releasing it on Asian Man Records this time around.We’re shooting for a mid-summer release and we’ll have more details for y’all in the near future. I’m also really excited because Toby Jeg at Red Scare is gonna press Four One Five Two on vinyl this summer and we’re gonna throw a big party. Rap at ya soon!"

To anyone that did not know the 10th Anniversary Show at the Metro on October 24, 2009 in Chicago. The show featured Mike Park, The Menzingers, and La Plebe as opening acts (it has not yet been confirmed if their sets will be on the DVD)

On March 16th Red Scare and Anchorless Records will co-release a new split featuring Brendan Kelly of The Lawrence Arms and Joe McMahon of Smoke Or Fire. Titled Wasted Potential it will feature seven songs from each artist. Anchorless will handle the LP and digital versions of the record while Red Scare will be releasing the CD. Toby from Red Scare quipped "I swear to god I saw this all coming when I saw Joe carrying Brendan's limp, drunken body out of a Las Vegas elevator back in like 2005. So we know they got the 'wasted' part down, we'll have to see about the 'potential'. "

The only place you will be able to get the colored vinyl is through Anchorless’ store. Black vinyl will be available through all the normal outlets. We postied 100 copies with a special edition coffee mug. We are making 150 coffee mugs to go along with this set (100 to go with the vinyl, 50 to be shared between Anchorless, Brendan, and Joe). The Coffee Mugs will have artwork from the release on one side and the Anchorless logo on the other side. Why a coffee mug you ask and not a pint glass? The guys figured a coffee mug will help nurse the hangover after a long night of drinking.

The vinyl will come with a digital download coupon, but chances look good that we will be able to send those who pre-order a copy a link to download the digital version before you receive the vinyl. Still working out the kinks with that, but Anchorless has also been so kind as to donate a test pressing for a test pressing contest. The 100 pre-orders will all be entered for a chance to win the test pressing.
